Command-line argument parsing and help documentation for `deckcraft-cli` subcommands. Specifically, the `render` subcommand incorrectly interprets `--help` as an output file path.

As a "clean-room reimplementation of Microsoft PowerPoint," `deckcraft` must offer a professional, intuitive, and predictable command-line interface. Standard `--help` functionality is a basic expectation for any CLI tool, ensuring ease of use and discoverability.

This issue exposes a fundamental flaw in `deckcraft-cli`'s argument parsing, particularly for the `render` subcommand. The failure to correctly interpret `--help` as a request for documentation, instead treating it as an output file path, creates a frustrating and non-standard user experience. Th...

PDF export fidelity, specifically the `ToUnicode` CMap generation, leading to garbled text extraction and syntax warnings in `deckcraft`.

Delivering a "clean-room reimplementation of Microsoft PowerPoint" implies high fidelity and compatibility with industry standards for presentation and document export, including robust PDF generation. Accurate text representation and extractability are fundamental.

This issue reveals a critical flaw in `deckcraft`'s PDF export functionality, specifically concerning `ToUnicode` CMap generation. The incorrect mapping of glyphs to entire text runs, causing garbled text extraction and `poppler` warnings, directly undermines the product's core promise of a high-...

The accuracy of estimated task completion times within an AI agent skill for generating isometric illustrations.

Providing users with transparent and reliable expectations regarding the time commitment for generating complex illustrations. The skill aims to be "very useful," implying efficiency and predictability are key.

This issue exposes a critical user experience flaw: inaccurate time estimations. The discrepancy between a 30-90 minute estimate and an actual sub-10 minute completion time, even for a "small figure," generates user frustration and risks abandonment of an otherwise "very useful" skill. This direc...

Core CAD functionality issues: DWG file handling (file picker, block display), object selection cursor, hatching persistence, command memory, and save prompt on exit.

Basic, reliable CAD operations and user experience consistent with industry expectations for DWG compatibility and intuitive interaction.

This issue exposes multiple critical deficiencies in CADCraft's core functionality and user experience. The failure to display DWG files in the file picker, incorrect 'smart block' rendering, broken object selection (no cursor change), non-persistent hatching, lack of command memory, and missing ...

Data integrity and round-trip fidelity for DXF/DWG files, preserving unknown objects, xdata, extension dictionaries, and various CAD elements during save/reopen cycles.

Full compatibility with AutoCAD's DXF/DWG format, ensuring no data loss for unmodeled elements and consistent handle remapping. The goal is to 'keep everything CADCraft doesn't edit'.

This issue highlights a critical data integrity challenge for CADCraft: preventing data loss during DXF/DWG round-trips. The 'Saving drops whatever we don't model' problem, an alpha blocker, directly impacts user trust and interoperability. Failure to preserve unknown objects, xdata, and extensio...

Basic chart interaction and keyboard accessibility, specifically deleting charts via the 'Del' key.

Standard spreadsheet application keyboard shortcuts and user interaction for chart management.

The inability to delete charts using the 'Del' key represents a fundamental usability flaw in GridCraft. While a menu option exists, the absence of a standard keyboard shortcut significantly degrades user efficiency and violates common spreadsheet application paradigms. This friction point, thoug...

Implementation of the 'Attach' function (likely related to external references or image attachments) and general feature completeness.

Functional parity with standard CAD commands, ensuring UI elements correspond to implemented backend functionality.

This issue exposes a critical disconnect between CADCraft's user interface and its underlying functionality: a prominent 'attach' button exists, but the corresponding function is unimplemented. This creates a broken user experience, leading to frustration and a perception of an incomplete or unre...
